RURO and Ayrris Announce Partnership

RURO and Appistry have announced their partnership to deliver integrated solutions for Big-Data Lab Management for Production-Scale NGS.

Automation is a fact of life for modern labs. But effectively managing the increasingly ubiquitous handoffs between humans, instruments, and computers requires ways to expedite and support both the physical work performed in the lab and the associated digital tasks performed by a lab’s computational workers. This is particularly important for labs seeking to provide results and diagnostic insights from data-intensive techniques such as NGS.

The winning combination of RURO’s software used in a variety of laboratory settings and Appistry’s Ayrris big-data computing pipeline creates the data-aware, computationally conscious lab environments.

Smart integration of the Ayrris with LIMS 24/7 sets new standards for translational medicine. Customers using the joint solution will gain a seamless transition from NGS laboratory workflows into a computational pipeline and back.

It’s a logical integration given the influx of data from NGS. RURO’s LIMS 24/7 is a comprehensive, easy-to-implement laboratory information management system that tracks data associated with all administrative and wet lab processes, from receipt and preparation of samples through running libraries on sequencers. But a LIMS can’t track and expedite data processing and analysis steps, and that’s where Ayrris comes in. Sitting between sequencers and the applications that interpret and store data, Ayrris provides the key big data capabilities labs need to run customer’s pipelines at scale.
